As a Graduate Assistant, I am committed to supporting students as they navigate their academic and professional journeys. My approach to advising focuses on creating a welcoming and encouraging environment where students feel heard, valued, and empowered to take ownership of their goals. I aim to not only provide clear guidance on courses and resources but also to inspire confidence in each student’s ability to succeed. With my background in Computer Science and ongoing MBA studies, I enjoy helping students see how the skills they are developing in the classroom can translate to meaningful career opportunities. My goal as a Graduate Assistant is to continue growing as a mentor and advocate for students. I look forward to working with you and supporting you throughout your time at SDSU!

M.A. Education, Counseling Concentration
As a Graduate Assistant, I am dedicated to providing a meaningful student advising experience through a student-centered approach. I aim to create a safe, supportive, and resourceful environment where students can seek guidance while navigating their academic and personal journeys. It is essential for me that students feel valued, are informed about the resources available, and leave our meetings feeling confident in their ability to achieve their academic goals. My ambition as a Graduate Assistant is to expand my experiences to transition into an Academic Advisor role, allowing me to continue my passion for supporting students throughout their academic journeys. I am excited to meet you and to support you during this exciting time!
